Retail operations have gotten used to seeing parking lots filled, and customers lining up on Thursday evening. People would wait in line for hours to get to deals most do not see on a regular basis. According to one account in the article, the line would already be wrapped around the building. However, this individual did not see any line forming this year.<\/p>\n

Parking lots at many retail stores were empty Thursday evening for Black Friday, and nobody was standing in lines awaiting the deals.<\/p>\n

This comes in contrast to previous years in which shoppers would stand in line for hours on the afternoon of Thanksgiving in the hopes of securing Black Friday doorbuster deals.<\/p>\n

“I see nothing. I\u2019m surprised,” retail worker Jeremy Pritchett told FOX 2. “Normally, it\u2019s wrapped all the way around the building. Today: no one.”<\/p>\n

Pritchett recalls working retail during prior Black Fridays, when stores would prepare for an abundance of shoppers.<\/p>\n

“We would get there probably around midnight, get everything set up,” Pritchett said. “We let people in early, give them donuts and coffee, you know, to try to slow down the stampede and stuff, and it was busy. But it was also one of those that it was always fun, and it\u2019s kind of gone it looks like.”<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s a sign of the way the world is going. Virtual learning, virtual buying, everybody just wants to be able to sit on their couch and order what they want,” he continued.<\/p>\n

According to the National Retail Federation, more than 160 million people will shop for deals online from today through Cyber Monday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
